Brief summary

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that untrained subjects who have diabetes can operate the Investigational Blood Glucose Monitoring System (BGMS) and obtain valid glucose results.

Interventions

DEVICENinja 3 PLUS Investigational BG Monitoring System

Untrained subjects with diabetes performed self Blood Glucose (BG) tests with capillary fingerstick and palm blood using the Ninja 3 PLUS Investigational BG Monitoring System. Study staff tested subject fingerstick blood. All BG results were compared to a reference laboratory glucose method.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percent of Self Test Fingerstick Blood Glucose Results Within ±15 mg/dL (< 75 mg/dL) and Within ±20% (≥ 75 mg/dL) of the Laboratory Glucose Method1 hourUntrained subjects with diabetes who self-tested fingerstick blood used the Ninja 3 PLUS investigational Blood Glucose Monitoring System (BGMS). BGMS results were compared with capillary plasma BG results obtained with a reference laboratory glucose method - YSI Life Sciences (YSI) Analyzer. BG meter results were used to calculate the number of BGMS results within +/- 15mg/dL (for reference BG results \<75mg/dL) and within +/- 20% (for reference BG results \>=75mg/dL) of the YSI reference method results.

Percent of Blood Glucose Results From Alternative Site Testing (AST) of the Palm Within ±15 mg/dL (< 75 mg/dL) and Within ±20% (≥ 75 mg/dL) of the Laboratory Method.

Untrained subjects with diabetes self-tested Alternative Site (AST) Palm blood using the Ninja 3 PLUS investigational Blood Glucose Monitoring System (BGMS). BGMS AST results were compared with capillary plasma BG results obtained with a reference laboratory glucose method - YSI Life Sciences (YSI) Analyzer. BG meter results were used to calculate the number of AST BGMS results within +/- 15mg/dL (\<75mg/dL YSI capillary plasma) and within +/- 15% (\>=75mg/dL YSI capillary plasma).

Time frame: 1 hour

Population: 209 (220-11) Blood Glucose results were analyzed. 2 subjects had low blood sugar and per protocol their 4 AST BG results were not evaluable. 3 BG results were excluded as they were protocol deviations. One subject (2 BG results) did not complete testing within protocol timeframe and one subject (2 BG results) was unable to obtain AST blood.
